Our Honey
In the Kigosi Forest Reserve, a remarkable natural phenomenon occurs with two distinct honey flow seasons, each characterized by different flowering plant species. These variations result in honey that differs in color, aroma, sweetness, and nutritional content.
The primary honey flow happens during June and July, producing a light amber honey. This honey is crafted by bees during the rainy season, primarily from the blossoms of Julbernardia globiflora. The light amber color is attributed to the nectar’s composition, which features a milder profile of certain compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids, resulting in a softer flavor and lighter hue.
In contrast, the secondary honey flow occurs in October and November, yielding a darker honey. This darker honey is produced from the flowers of Brachystegia speciformis, which thrive during the dry season. The darker coloration is due to higher concentrations of phenolic compounds and other antioxidants found in the nectar of these flowers, contributing to a richer flavor profile and deeper color.

This seasonal diversity not only enhances the flavor profile of the honey but also contributes to the ecological richness of the forest reserve. Afrilife proudly presents two distinct varieties of honey, inviting you to indulge in the unique gifts that nature has to offer. Each type is not just a sweet treat; it’s a treasure trove of health benefits that can enhance your well-being and
nourish your body. Imagine savoring the light amber honey, crafted from the blossoms of Julbernardia globiflora, during the rainy season—a delightful blend that brings a touch of nature’s gentleness to your palate. This honey is rich in essential nutrients, offering a milder profile that supports your health while adding a touch of sweetness to your day.
Now, picture the darker honey, sourced from the resilient flowers of Brachystegia speciformis during the dry season. This robust variety is packed with antioxidants and offers a richer flavor, providing you with a comforting embrace of nature’s goodness. By enjoying both honey seasons, you not only treat yourself to diverse flavors but also ensure a varied intake of nutrients that your body craves.
